Image Review

The front of the box(this isn't even the shiniest side). I know it's hard to see but the top right section of the box you should be able to see a TM(type moon) Sticker. MOST authentic TM products have this. Do be careful, fake SaDers are everywhere.

Final Thoughts/Review:

Sculpt: 10/10

Painting: 10/10

Base: 9/10

Packaging: 9/10

Enjoyment: 10/10

Total Score: 48/50

Jesus, this may be the highest score I've given yet. Let me just start by saying I'm in love with this form of saber. Not so much her Alter & Lily forms. I like every part of this fig, especially the base. The iron rod is actually sturdy & the material(saber included) feel really well crafted. If your a Saber fanboy/girl, or just love good looking armor figures,this is you god.
